We were pissed, we were all pissed, when Universal announced their remake of George A Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead. In the end though, most of us horror fans ending up enjoying ourselves, so maybe when Nu Image and Millennium Films' Day of the Dead hits theaters next year we'll also be pleasantly surprised? Today we received the first casting news from a very reliable regular scooper who wishes to remain anonymous. Read on to see who will be returning to the franchise, and who will be joining him...
Today Bloody-Disgusting received word from a very reliable source that Ving Rhames has been cast in the film, specifically to link the film to Uni's Dawn remake. In addition, Mira Sorvino (Mimic) will be joining him. The film will be shooting in or around Bulgaria or Romania this month. Steve Miner directs off a script by Jeffrey Redd|ick (Tamara).
The original follows a group of scientists and military personnel holed up in an underground bunker because the world above is overrun with zombies. The lumbering flesheaters eventually find a way in and wreak havoc on the scientists who've been experimenting on their undead brethren.
